I really liked the many ways the sword is used! While the game would have otherwise been simple, I'm glad you took the time to design some neat levels, especially using the fact that the sword can bring you to the other color of the checkerboard and enforcing that concept with the wizards. The soundtrack is pretty nice, too! Overall, it's a great game, and I think the team should be very proud of their work.
Appreciate all the feedback, thanks for playing!
I love how you recreate a classic puzzle mechanic with one little, but sophisticated change. The game is well polished and interesting to play. Well done!
High praise, thank you! We're glad you enjoyed, thanks for playing :)
Oh man, I love the dual purpose enemies have in this game, being both your greatest strength as well as your greatest obstacle. The fact that enemies can be attacked to cross multiple tiles in a single turn is brilliant! It makes for such interesting gameplay choices. The final level plays with these choices real well, and had it me stuck for a decent bit until I finally got it, haha! There's heaps of potential here, and I'd love to see you guys turn this into a fully-realized game.
Thanks for playing!
Nice little puzzle! The opening cutscene is really nice looking and funny! Music is good and the way the puzzle work fits the theme of the jam. Good job!
I like this one. simple but interesting mechanic. levels just the right length for a jam game. Nice puzzles.
Thanks much for playing!
Amazing concept! You really managed to fool me with some levels, by putting items i didn't need to interact with :D Well done!
Perfect implementation of dual purpose design! Killing enemies is used as: killing, movement, recharge for movement, obstacle. its perfect! 5 stars!
Thank you so much for the nice review!
Cool Idea! The puzzles are really well designed and the art style is neat. Great job!
Thanks for playing!
Wow, what an under-appreciated amazing game :0
I am a fan of puzzles, and played many of them, but your one is just so good! Initially, I was attracted by the style pf your art, the visuals are really cool, but then I wasn't able to stop playing because I wanted to know how to solve the puzzle. I have no idea how did you manage to think of every possible route and make such clever designs for levels in only 2 says. And the sound design only adds to the game. Best of luck to you, the potential of the game is surely super high!
Thanks for playing and for all the feedback!
5/5 for the originality! The cursed blade definitely seemed to be out of control!
That was very good game. I usually don't care for puzzle games but this one was engaging with a great mechanic. A couple tricky levels too! Everything was well done though, the art, the music, the gameplay. I really liked it!
This is a very cool Puzzle game ! And very, very well done for a 48h game jam ! :D
I love the intro sequence and the puzzles are pretty fun, nice submission guys!
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
